Awakening Through Horses

Personal Develpment and Spiritual Growth

Equine Assisted Personal Develpment, Trauma Therapy, Counselling, and Emotional Freedom Technique

I have been working therapeutically with people for over 25 years and committed to helping clients find themselves; to find alignment and connection to their own inner wisdom.

In 2010 I discovered the power of working therapeutically alongside horses, and was immediately drawn to it. I could see how being around horses brings people back into their heart and their natural authentic state. I call this work Awakening Through Horses because that’s what can happen during a session, an awakening to yourself. A feeling of deep connection and self-love. It can be a profoundly moving experience.

Being outside in the elements helps people get back in touch with their heart, and their feeling state, and from there, everything starts to become clearer for them. I love the way that being present in the moment, with horses and in nature, brings us to a greater awareness of our senses and our inner wisdom. In the words of the naturalist, John Muir: “and into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”. This is the foundation of my way of working with the help of the horses, to help people come out of the analytical head and into a more heart based intuitive place within themselves – it is here that lasting healing can occur.

About Midi

I trained in counselling in 1995 and it has underpinned my work ever since. Over the years I have added in new knowledge and ways of working, including Emotional Freedom Technique, Trauma Therapy, and Equine Assisted Personal Development. 

The Horses

Since starting to work therapeutically with the horses I have seen all of them grow and develop within themselves and become more confident as horses. Both horses and people seem to gain some form of healing from the equine facilitated sessions.

Why Horses?

Horses help to bring people back into their heart, and into their natural authentic state. From that quiet place within, you can find your own answers and a sense of deep connection and self-love. It’s a beautiful feeling, like coming ‘home’ to yourself.
